Infirmary Health's Daphne (Ala.) Surgery Center has completed its first total knee replacement surgery, led by Gulf Orthopaedics surgeon Jay Savage, MD, according to a Feb. 2 report from Gulf Coast Media.
Dr. Savage performed the surgery using a Velys robot, making Infirmary the first health system in Alabama to use the Velys system for a total knee replacement.
The robot helps to ensure predictable results for surgeons, enhance outcomes, increase patient mobility and expedite recovery.
The Daphne ASC performs nearly 200 procedures a year across a variety of specialties.
